All Blacks | Greatest Tries of All Time

[@aaronmckechnie4467]

When Beauden Barrett hangs up the All Blacks boots he will have cemented his place as a true All Blacks great. Amazing overall skills. Speed, Try scoring, passes, off loads, kicks for outside backs. He does it all.

[@RugbyEverest]

Completely agree with you ! He is one of a kind !

[@rikimackey7984]

Yeah I’d put him at number 2 behind Carter as he was great in his prime

[@HelloMyNamesNino]

As an Aussie, so, so hard to click on this video…. “agghggh!! It’s burning my eyes” But yes, some pretty spectacular plays there 👏🏻

[@outofoblivionproductions4015]

Campese goose-step rocked.

[@angusjudkins6058]

Cristian Cullen has to be the best fullback to have ever played the game

[@RugbyEverest]

Very true, his running style is so well balanced that it just looks like he glides past defenders with ease

[@MichaelJordan-yy1sr]

Yes. Maybe serge blanco

[@huepix]

Ben Smith was pretty good. Both had excellent balance, acceleration, vision. Dan Carter was an excellent fullback and centre before graduating to No 10.

[@paulmautama3816]

he is💪🏽

[@cliff9136]

@@huepix wasn’t aware Carter played centre or fullback. I do remember him playing a few games at 2nd 5/8.

[@kainoizking]

Idk why Dagg isn’t really talked about today maybe because he just retired a few years ago but he was literally as good as prime Cullen. The try where he cuts through the line, gets to the outside and twists mid fall to get the offload off to Nonu while about 3 inches off the ground with perfect accuracy was quite literally one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen on a rugby field.

[@raf4992]

No......

[@keevee09]

Ben from accounts was sublime. His counter attacks created numerous tries that went unsung.

[@johncreedon7847]

Dagg was class

[@thugtrippin]

Dagg prime is it

[@richardmatatahi4563]

Dagg is up there with Inga, Lomu, Tana, Cullen, Barrett, BG Williams, Sid Going, Stu Wilson the list is endless line of iconic rugby players.

[@timyates4617]

There's a couple of Ma'a Nonu tries missing - the one where he ran half the field with only one boot and the RWC Final where he sliced through the Aussies to take us far enough ahead so that Beauden Barrett could take advantage with his amazing try.

[@darrenking3187]

Yep, was looking for that one. Maybe in a follow up video..?

[@archvermin]

If the first one is the one I'm thinking - the try was actually scored by Dagg. Nonu was brilliant in that passage though: broke a tackle, lost a boot, and still made a perfectly weighted pass for Dagg to score. Rather soured John Smit's centurion test on that occasion :)

[@Fuzcapp]

The Cullen try at 3:00 is a work of art - and I'm an Aussie.

[@t4tio]

I love that. The true greats of the game. Have the respect of all nations! Like George Gregan! Absolute legend and supremely forgotten about as the only player. To consistently tackle/bring down, prime Jonah Lomu...... One on one!

[@Fuzcapp]

@@t4tio And Gregan upended Richard Loe. Even the Kiwi supporters cheered at that one.

[@joedennehy386]

Great memories, thank you. That try where reid regathered the kick off with time nearly up and down by one point against Australia in Dunedin leading to barretts try will live on with me.i almost felt sorry for the sheep steelers

[@nishmyshkin]

I think people forget about Inga the winger - he was before Lomu and whilst he didn't become the global superstar, he was maybe one of our earlier - you can have a giant colossus with speed on the wing and use them to smash up the middle as well as scare these little, fast, nippy wingers etc. Then we lost him to league... And Cullen, best of all time? I'd say so.

[@outofoblivionproductions4015]

Inga's try was amazing line.

[@thugtrippin]

DC is the best of all time

[@crystallineentity]

Excellent vid man, that Caleb Clarke run is ridiculously good

[@RugbyEverest]

Cheers mate!

[@joedennehy386]

It was I said at the time I hope he can repeat it. He hasn't yet. He was on fire that day, hopefully will play like that again

[@trenchantinsight]

Except where he was tackled by the Aussie full back and doesn't release the ball

[@poepiebuitendijk3988]

Barrett’s !!!! All Blacks!!!!!!!!! From a Dutch supporter 😊 MAN!!!! It is like they played together from childhood 😃

[@karlosdeevs]

Awsome stuff and a happy new year as well! Keep those plays coming..

[@RugbyEverest]

Will do, any suggestions for the next video?

[@karlosdeevs]

@@RugbyEverest hmm.. this might be a bit far fetched but how about all those two phase tries such as James O'Conner score in 2011 tri nations vs SA and last year's MLR try of the season as well as that underrated Narika Koroibete score in 2020 super rugby AU (you might have to dig for that)

[@jeremyviall4168]

That dummie from Big Brodie. So good.

[@dubemccready7438]

Another one of those awesomely perfect runs of the Rugby Ball back in time when Sports men & women had to work bloody hard to achieve excellence & JK Certainly did it that day. Memorable Rugby Union.

[@stylekat]

Very nice, some great tries in there. Where's Savea v France 2015 though? ;-)

[@RugbyEverest]

Copyright issues... :( thanks though!

[@davidcorkill6810]

Some superb tries, especially the first one by Kirwan. You could go back a couple of decades and include Ian Kirkpatrick's against the Lions in 1971. Perhaps the greatest individual try by a forward. If you haven't seen it you really must.

[@thefobbie0034]

Yes that is a superb try from a lineout on the halfway!

[@debatcool1158]

love from France to this team .

Great vid, so enjoyable to watch so many of rugby’s greats. From a saffa.

[@ngabushallday6642]

Italy has never recovered from the 87 world cup Kirwan try.

[@RugbyEverest]

And what a try that was! Crazy how good Kirwan and Cullen were back in the day...

[@brucesherborne408]

There are defiantly some beauties..good selection 👍but how to chose just a few top ones from reels of brilliance would be near impossible. Such an all time epic team…go ABs ABFFAB

[@gregbooth1551]

The mighty All Blacks have scored so many incredible tries, really tough to rate the best, but I reckon that "set piece" try in Wellington against the Wallabies (when John Eales broke our hearts in extra time) was the most beautiful that I have ever seen. Wayne Smith take a bow. Those Christian Cullen tries against Scotland and the Wallabies were mind-blowing! Ironic that they happened when we were at a very low ebb for the AB's at the turn of the Century.

[@chur3636]

Awesome replay of some of our greats

[@RugbyEverest]

Cheers mate!

[@philcurry8561]

'Lomu oh oh' - never gets old

[@RugbyEverest]

Probably the most iconic clip of all time

[@huepix]

I think Cat scoring the try to knock the ABs out of the next world cup was a great redemption for a fine player.

[@ExcitingBob]

@@huepix ?? France knocked NZ out of the following world cup (1999)

[@moronicdooshbaggery756]

Kirwan try was definitely one of the greatest. The same clip could be titled" worst defence in rugby " top 10

[@huepix]

Yup. Some bullfighting tackles in there. Olè

[@championthewonderhorse9733]

The most incredible, exciting running rugby.

[@nathanbellamy3308]

Israel dagg doesn't get the respect he deserves. He was an awesome player

[@hannotn]

I always thought that if he looked happy then he was going to have a blinder. Looked like he played on emotion and when he played at the level he could reach he looked like he was jumping out of his skin with joy.

[@1.masterpiece]

Beaudy had two mesmerising assists ❤

[@huepix]

My son at 11 did the exact same as the 1st try (Kirwan). Son did his in the last minute of the game (after setting up a try that led to the kick off) His team was 3 points behind a team they had never beaten, so, yeah, after 2 passes, ran the length of the field to score the winning try. AND he was injured. Was quite a buzz for me and his wee brother walking around the field .

[@RugbyEverest]

That's actually really cool. Well done to him!

[@steveray4708]

I am glad to hear your .. " dadness " l had that same feeling with my little boy .. He's now 6 foot 4 and a chippy in oz .

[@markbarlow7978]

This is not about one team or one nation being better or the best. It is about the wonder and inspiration of people doing and being their best in a way that inspires and amazes us all. Additionally, it is also about the All Blacks being the most awesome, successful and famous sports team in the world.

[@justskid]

South African here. Back in the 90's, I used to get very worried every time I saw the ball going to Christian Cullen.

[@MarsFKA]

I remember a time when we in NZ used to get very worried every time the Springboks took the field against the All Blacks.

[@liamgames3834]

can you do a part to and have barretts world cup final try because thats a legend

[@MeanAzz_13]

Yep sealed the W.C for us

Great content but why is it such bad quality ???? Check out 4:30 how forward ben smith passed that ball ??? lol

[@stuartleslie5421]

I'm an Australian and despite the All Blacks' continuing dominance over The Wallabies, I gotta admit that the All Blacks at their best are as good as Rugby gets. Australia during the eighties and nineties had some of the best backlines ever but over all the Kiwis get the prize. Kirwan was fantastic and though he stood Campese up numerous times, he would swap them all to have stopped the brilliant subtle move Campo put on him in the 1991 World Cup semi-final!

[@Trajan2401]

Yes Australia dominated rugby in the 90s and early 2000s Steve the ghost Larkham and George Gregan were a dangerous combo

[@thefobbie0034]

Yeah that 1980 Wallaby backline is one of the best I have ever seen. Everyone goes on about Gregan and Larkham backline but they would not even come close to that 1980 backline - Cox, Ella, Hawker, O'Connor, Moon, Martin and Gould! These guys were to slick!

[@stuartleslie5421]

@@thefobbie0034 Yes, the Ellas completely innovated in backline play, and that backline cut the opposition apart in the Grand Slam tour. But I reckon the backline of Nick Farr-Jones, Lynagh, Little, Horan, Campo and whoever else came close to the best of all time.

[@thefobbie0034]

@@stuartleslie5421 - Yes I am aware of the 91-94 Wallaby backline however they got destroyed by the All Black backline on the AB 92 tour to Australia! Frank Bunce single-handedly destroyed that Horan-Little combination with his tackling! Little completely lost his confidence during that tour - was not the same player! For me the 1980 backline is probably the best backline ever but there are others to contend with: a) 71 Bok backline b) 69-73 Welsh backline c) 74-75 All Black backline d) 1980-84 Wallaby backline e) 1984-1990 French backline f) 1987-1990 All Black backline g) 1984-86 Bok backline h) 1991-93 Wallaby backline i) 1995-97 All Black backline Sorry but I am a big fan of that 1980 Wallaby backline - and that was the secondary school backline that had Wally Lewis as the back-up to Mark Ella!

[@stuartleslie5421]

@@thefobbie0034 Fair enough. Bunce was like getting hit by a lump of concrete. The Ella brothers were plucked out of Randwick's 4th grade to play against the unbeaten Sydney Uni, and Randwick smashed them. Mark Ella said nobody knew how to play backline before they came along. Wrap-arounds, loops, full backs and inside backs coming round to hit the line from different angles and creating extra men --- that didn't really exist before the Ellas. Video of the Grand Slam tour is still classic. The Northern Hemisphere sides had no idea what was going on. Changed the game. And Hawker, O'Connor and Gould were all brilliant in their roles.

[@BGNewsReporter]

Nice little video. Feels like WC 2015 was missing completely?? Tries v France in the QF and Oz in the final, there were plenty in that WC! Edit: Ah, I see you've replied to another comment. Copyright it seems. Shame!

Until today, I am still watching every All Blacks and Black Ferns' games. I would like to correct the guy who is translating "try" for the spanish word "ensayo".

His ability to direct his team around the park is why that All Black team was undefeated from May 1987 to July 1990 - NO other All Black team has done that! The only reason why they lost was because the arrogance and politics that harmed that team from within - they should have won the 1991 World Cup! Fox knew when to go for territory and when to run it and he was always spot on with his tactics! This present AB team could learn a lesson from Fox because running the ball to score tries from inside your own half let alone you own 22 is causing us to lose games!
